Country - Canada

And that is what we did today.  Remember things given up,  too large for us to understand.  We thank and honour those who stood for our freedom and way of life. There is never enough thanks and it will always be remembered.

Almost Halloween! Yikes, were does the year go???  We are getting Fall weather, windy, rain and have had our first freeze.  I am thinking that maybe this winter will be long and cold.....weeeee? Where is my usual excitement for winter gone?????

I just thought i'd be the first one to post a happy thanksgiving day message on Thanksgiving Monday. So, May you all have a wonderful day, beign thankful and spending time with food friends and family. Take care out there, and may the joy that comes from knowing Jesus be in each of your hearts and stir up that thankfullness for every blessing we recieve, big and small.

Goodnight, and have a great day everyone!

IAms' child.

Well here we are already into fall.  My daughter now lives in Alberta and I am still missing her.  She still is without her stuff which makes settling in rather tough.  I hope we all are prepared for winter this year, for some reason I am not looking forward to it at all and I usually am so excited about winter?!?  Maybe old age creeping up on me?   Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, I notice we are getting less and less light!  Dark earlier in the evening and dark later in the morn....argggg???  Maybe it is the thought of going out to buy a new snow shovel, mine is worn out.

A other sad day when two men returned home to Canada with the trip down the highway.  We saw the people so sad waiting to pay respects to our fallen men. Just breaks your heart.

An other young man coming home to ride the final ride.  My heart goes out to his loved ones. So, so very sad.

Politics....blah humbug. SO, so much wrong here in Canada with our leaders.  DO they reflect us in any way?  I sure to heavens hope not.  Speaking of heavens!  We will in two days have a docking at the International Space Station that will see one Canadian greet an other !  Two Canadianns on the ISS!!!!  How very exciting!  I watched the launch last night around 6pm and after 5 failed tries it went off perfectly!  Soaring to the heavens, what a sight.  However.  It was noted that the aging ship lost a lot of parts, falling off in the force of launch.  If the wars were stopped there would be excess money to reach for the stars with more safety.  Now these people that forward the front of science deserve merit far more than some self serving alleged public servant ( public servant???  LOL!).

Chretien???  Chretien is to recieve the honour of merit?  He is to stand with the 24 others that have been so honoured.  His list of reasons he is not  worthy of this honour is long but start with grabbing a protester around the neck and shaking him,  ordering troops to shoot at the people of Canada murdering one, his finacial dealings using his companies that where not at arms length.  Sad. Maybe this is not the proper forum but for heavens sake. Being well off and avoiding charges seems to lead to honour.  Honour is in the average people that have laid down their lives for Canada and work every day to make it a better place.  He even hid behind his wife when someone broke into their place... Honour???  I so think not.  Just as bad as Conrad Black still having the order of Canada. Come on!!!  Canada deserves better!

Beautiful country, wonderful people, and Happy Canada Day to us all!
